Sammy Winward Katie never learns

Sammy Winward has said that her Emmerdale character never learns from past romances and always finds herself in relationships with the show's bad boys.

Her character Katie Sugden is currently embroiled in a love triangle with entrepreneur Nathan Wyle (Lyndon Ogbourne) and gamekeeper Lee Naylor (Lewis Linford).

Speaking to DS at the British Soap Awards, the 23-year-old said: "She's always manipulated very easily by bad boys, but she never learns...The bad boys' always get the edge with her for some reason."

Name: Sammy Winward

Age: 23

Soap: Emmerdale

Plays: Naughty but nice Katie Sugden

Best soap moment
When I was involved in a love triangle with the two Sugden brothers a few years back. Thankfully it was written in a way that didn't make Katie look a bitch, just a young girl who'd just done the stupid thing of falling in love... with her husband's brother!

Worst soap moment
When Katie and Donna, who was played by Verity Rushworth, had to be carted round the village as Jubilee Queen in awful polyester prom dresses. it was so cringe worthy especially as I was only 15. They still have the pictures up in the Village Hall, so I am reminded of it constantly.

If you weren't doing this job what would you be doing?
Something to do with history. I'm very interested in archaeology and ancient history and in my spare time really enjoy reading up about it.

You're most likely to be found gossiping on set with...
All of the girls in the cast. We're not really gossips though, we just chat about our handbags, shoes and boys-the usually girlie things.

My top night out would be...
Something involving my close friends, drink and dancing. It doesn't really matter where we go. I'm not a hardcore clubber, though, I can't afford to be with a child - plus I'm terrible with hangovers.

If I wasn't playing Katie I would love to play¿
A Dingle. Katie's so normal, it would be great to play a really over the top role like that. Plus I'd get a biblical name, too.

What's your top beauty tip?
I used to spend so much money on posh face creams like Crème de la Mer and La Prairie, but then I stopped and went back to using Clear and Clean face wash and it's brilliant. My skin is so much better using just that!

What would Katie say if she saw you dressed like this?
She'd love what I'm wearing. Now she works on the business side of the Farm, she gets to wear nicer clothes and I think she could pull something like this off.

Who's your soap pin up?
I was mad on Neighbours when I was younger and loved Kylie and Jason. As soon as I got home from school it would be on. I was probably more of a fan of Kylie's than Jason as I loved her music, but he came as part of the package.

The funniest thing I've read about myself is...
when I've been linked to men I've never met or who I wouldn't dream of being with. I'm always seen cosying up to men somewhere apparently, but I have a child, so in reality I rarely go out!

The best thing abut this job is...
Having different storylines all the time. Every couple of months I get a huge challenge put in my way and I try to do the best I can with it.

What's your top beauty tip?
Exfoliate. Especially in the winter when it's fake tan time. If you don't take it off on a regular basis it can start to look a bit patchy, so exfoliating gets rid of it and also keeps your skin a lot healthier.

How do you keep in shape?
I have a personal trainer that comes to my house twice a week. I've had her for three months and she concentrates on tonight up my tummy, thighs and bum. I've already started to notice the difference.

Do you think your looks helped you get a career in TV?
I've no idea! I am sure if you sure my first screen test at 15 you wouldn't think so. I was probably quite horrific.

Do you think your looks helped you get a career in TV?
I guess that in order to get a part you have to look a certain way as they might have an idea of what the character should look like. But I'd like to think that generally I've got here because of my acting ability.
